Equatorial Guinea's top three cities fail to follow the rank-size rule. The top two cities have fairly similar populations with a dramatic drop in the third city. This is inconsistent with the gradual decline of the estimates. Of course, much of this information is inaccurate since the most recent population info is from 1994.
